(34,117 posts)I'm past retirement age and still working (because I want to do so). In a long professional career, I really, really, really haven't noticed all of this equality.
I know I got special consideration for male white privilege.
The Boomer generation failed to pass the ERA. "Too radical," I guess.
Granted there are more women in professional lives, but I very much doubt that boomers took all that much time out of golf, partying, consuming and drinking to make it happen. We are, of course, the generation of "drugs, sex, and rock and roll."
All these professional women you mention, fo they really get equal pay?
The quintessential boomers to my mind are George W. Bush and Donald Trump. The former appointed boomers to the Supremes, Alito and Roberts, the latter, the worst justices in history (except for the one his father appointed Clarence the Corrupt), Kavanaugh, Gorsuch, and Barrett, boomers all.
We have an inclination as to how all those "rights" will stand up.
But don't let me stop us for cheering for ourselves and patting ourselves on the back. It's what we do.
History will not forgive us, nor should it.
